Solution
The correct option is B Relative Humidity
Explanation:
- Absolute humidity: It is the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere at a given temperature. It is expressed in gm/m3 . It changes with the change in volume. It decreases from the equator to the poles.
- Relative humidity: Ratio of amount of water vapour present in air to what it can hold.
- Specific humidity: Mass of water vapour per kilogram of air. Represents the actual quantity of moisture present in air and is seldom affected by change in volume and temperature.
